Yes - it makes this information visible in the 'Handbook updates'
summary,
for example. It also provides a concise "Who/What/When/Why" view, which
would require grovelling through multiple revisions pages and some
guessing to get at otherwise. It also gives a quick overview of what's
going on for a page which is in moderation.
Probably a better long-term solution is to improve the presentation
of
this information in book.module, but in the meantime, it's not an
onerous
requirement, and it's probably a good discipline in that it makes us
think
about what it is we're doing :)
